I do understand W/I and I also realize that as you increase the methanol to water ratio you raise EGT's. Higher octane = higher temps. Hence the 51/49 mix. I am in the process of installing a 3" DP on the on the angled 16T. Have obvious mods to increase air flow, CAI, 2.5" cat back, slightly bigger injectors, no tune yet, Nothing approaching crazy, I'd say. Always humble enough to ask for help, never to old to learn!
methanol does not act like gas it reduces EGT's you can see as much to as 200+ degree drops in EGT with strait methanol and slightly more with a water methanol mix.
